Bernie Sanders Claims Monsanto Are Trying To Silence Him

Bernie Sanders has said that Monsanto threatened to sue CBS if they allowed him to appear on their network, due to his critical stance of the agricultural giant.

During a town hall on Saturday night, a voter asked Sanders about Monsanto and about GMO food, to which Sanders responded:

Monsanto is a very, very powerful corporation. They are one of the leaders in food technology and basically working hard to transform our food system.

Let me tell you a funny story, or not so funny. In my state, a great dairy state, we have a lot of dairy cows. There was an effort to put what was called BGH, bovine growth hormone, which is a stimulant that makes cows produce cows more milk but is unhealthy. I was against that.

Monsanto are one of the most evil corporations on the planet. They make pesticide that kills everything except their GMO crop and leaves the soil unable to be used for anything other than their GMO crop. They also created Glyphosate that the WHO classes a probable carcinogenic and threaten to sue any government that tries to ban glyphosate until it is proved to be safe. The USA government are letting their citizens be poisoned by Monsanto and help Monsanto poison the whole planet. Wise up before its too late.
